Barbeito 5 Years Old Island Rich Reserva NV

This medium-rich Madeira is crafted from a blend of Tinta Negra grapes grown on the volcanic island of Madeira. The grapes are harvested early to preserve acidity, which balances the wine's sweetness. Fermentation is halted with the addition of neutral grape spirit, retaining natural sugars. The wine matures in oak casks for five years using the canteiro method, where gradual temperature changes enhance complexity. The result is a wine with layers of dried fruit, caramel, and a hint of spice, offering a balanced sweetness and acidity, ideal for sipping or pairing with desserts.
